<p>So I'm feeling a bit lost about what's going on again. I'm taking a look at our <a href="https://rust-lang.github.io/wg-traits/roadmap/skill-tree.html" title="https://rust-lang.github.io/wg-traits/roadmap/skill-tree.html">skill tree</a> to try and get centered.</p>

<p>Clearly it's fallen somewhat out of date.</p>

<p>I'll start by updating it</p>

<p>By the way, <span class="user-mention" data-user-id="232957">@Jack Huey</span>, I spent some time looking at the skill tree and thinking about how to make it more usefully convey the level of information I think we want. I am now thinking that I definitely want it to be higher-level. </p>
<p>I'll try to mock up in mermaid I think the general idea of what it should look like, I think.</p>
<p>It'd probably be useful to try to reserve some time to talk about rustc-integration and bottom out a bit more the skill tree and steps needed.</p>
<p>I'm feeling particularly a bit stalled about how to start work on the task of extracting a rustc shared type library. Though really I suspect the thing we need to resolve first is likely "how to resolve the late-bound index question" (do we want to keep a vector of binders in rustc? should we assign indices? etc)</p>

<p>I can make some time next week sometime after our Tuesday meeting to discuss rustc-integration. So whenever works for you.</p>

<p>As far as the rustc shared type library, I do agree that there are some unresolved questions</p>

<p>particularly late-bound (or, really all bound) variables</p>

<p><code>Param</code>s sort of fall under that discussion</p>

<p>it's really the only pain point as far as differences between chalk and rustc go</p>

<p>the other things are fairly trivial</p>
